I've been watching your videos now for a few years and I have to say, that for some weird reason, this is really entertaining to me. I have absolutely nothing to do with tractors of any sort, but seeing someone so positive working hard on mechanical things is so satisfying and entertaining to watch. You are a properly clever man, or dumb as a fox as you said yourself ;) Looking forward to the next episode, and the next after that, and the next..........
Please allow me to pass on an assembly tip passed on to me by an elderly machinist back in the 1950's. He kept a large magnet on a piece of wood on the work bench and would rub bolts, nuts, washers etc. as needed. The idea was if one was dropped it could be retrieved with a long piece of steel or would adhere to the machine being put together. worked for me for many years.
I had no idea, that was a locomotive valve. I had to go back and speed drag the video to 13:00 to see what they were talking about. I an’t seem to find my way back to Behind the Scenes #6, Is that because I joined later?
@@rustyreckman2892 I scrolled through a couple of times, but I only got back to about Behind the Scenes #27, and could not go back any further. Are they way out of order? Is there a way to search?
@@charlesward8196 try going to the main RUclips page, then clicking on playlists, and then click on the behind scenes playlist. It’s in order. The episode you want is 6.
Track life extended with carrier rollers. Thanx for going the extra mile in all that you do, as an old school operator of track machines, I salute you. Great videos.😃
"Foldover lock etiquette". Love it. Well phrased. Well performed. I'm absolutely delighted that you could come up with these unobtainable roller carriers. World's luckiest D2.
As a gunsmith I really like watching you think through problems, find a solution and systematically work to a resolution, then resorting to muscling through a problem! Great work with the sleeve and so many of the tight spots you have figured out in this series! Again hello from Cloquet!
The D2 looks awesome! All of the parts look really fitting together specially with the carrier rolers. Even the worn off paint looks really cool and fitting to that beauty, much better than a freshly painted one like people tend to do on youtube. Im hyped to see that thing crawling arround
Besides the sound of an RD6 under load, the sound of the roller bracket contacting the track frame at 9:46 is one of the most satisfying sounds I've heard on RUclips. 😁
Really appreciate how you find the silver lining on any dark cloud. And I think you are sometimes better often being lucky than smart! Keep out foxing your challenges!
Truly puts things into perspective when you make statements like your probably going to put another 100 hours of operation on the machine in your lifetime, When you decide to sell the machine the new owners will have all of these documented videos to pass down from generation to generation on the complete rebuild of the 5J11113, great name by the way.
7:00 That TWITCHY Eye is resting Comfortably today.! I look forward to a good FOLD-Over episode Squatch.!LOL. 13:00 Oh The Big Valve... So long ago, almost thought to be Legend... And most of us NEVER tire of Master Pin installs, or a time-lapse of travt-pad attachments... Hint...
That use of the nonworking bumper was brilliant and it made me think of a fender arched in the same way over the track to cut down on mud being flung up into the engine and driver's area.
Hello from Las Vegas Thank you for the video I like the fact that you are putting more videos GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
These speedy sleeves are an ingenious invention 👌these rollers just change the whole aspect of the tractor 💪 don't think I've ever seen them on a D2 over here 🏴 before 👍
The thinness of the sleeve was always going to be a problem with heating and installing. Induction heating probably wouldn't have worked here. The best idea I see is that the large ring you were placing on the sleeve should have been heated to 450 degrees with the sleeve in it and then it put on together. That would have provided a thermal mass around the sleeve that may have kept the sleeve heated up enough. 450 is above the point where the majority of growth happens during heating (around 190 F) without the risk of altering the crystalline structure of the steel which would loose the temper on the sleeve (as low as 440 F in some cases). It may have helped or may not but it seems others commenting seem to say the same thing through their experience.
Unobtainium install, what a great gift from Floren tractor. Sad they them selves will not go on. But man those tracks are lookin good,Toby! So 5J1113, is becoming part of the" family", gonna receive a name a cab thanks to Nathan looking to the ceiling of a barn and all. A far cry from a tractor that could have stayed a parts donor... So thanks Toby for deciding to persue this on You Tube. I gotten a lot of enjoyment from watching, along. She, 5J1113 has got her swampers on, and the Cat swerve on. A Yeah!, Yeah! New tool idea, an adjustable hook on grabber to that oops bumper to check track tention. Pre set the track at 1and a half up from the roller and tention accordingly. Easy on your back. Absolutely love this stuff!
Pretty sure he told us what the name was going to be a few months ago here on the member's channel. Don't remember what it was, and I'd hate to spoil it here in the comments section even if I did.
Nice !!! I JB Welded a seal suffice up on a F350 axel because I couldn't get a wear sleeve for it !!!!! Because no one makes one for it 😖😖😖😖😖😖 i found a company that would make one but the expense was overwhelming around 600.00 And I had to make up a blue print!!!! The JB Weld is working for almost a year!!!!!
Always a pleasure watching your video's. You have a Natural Born Discipline when taking on the challenges of Mechanics and such. Gives me the enthusiasm to take on projects set the bar a little higher each time. Thanks for the Expertise!
I have been watching you for a while and I'm enjoying watching you do this rebuild. Its been a pleasure watching a practical, cost effective rebuild, not one to build better than new. Looking forward to the naming program.
Not dumb, Squatch. As the saying goes "live by learning and learn by living" so when you 'had a go anyway' you taught a lot of folks who follow your channel to avoid a mistake by applying your smarts to a problem then we all benefit by being able to work smarter.
Squatch I can't tell you how much I love your content from all the x series stuff from bringing home 5j1113 all of it... Please please please put in the pipe dream of an old school D8 or D9 or maybe a cat fifty or sixty. Idk why I just love the roller work on these old ones and greasing the rollers just love that stuff
That was a good episode squad. I enjoyed watching you do that. Learned a little bit on weight versus Paul versus tooth swear on the sprockets and stuff. Thank you.
Even though I know what it's going to be (It pays to be a member!) I'm still really looking forward to the episode you do with Sr. where he tells the story. You're dad's awesome, and I bet he has a LOT of cool stories we'd really enjoy. You could start a new series, story time with Sr.! LOL. I'm also looking forward to the first time you take 1113 out for a tour on it's swamp pads. That thing's just going to look mean when you do a eye level shot of it driving towards the camera!
I'm thinking ypu and your Dad are going to be sitting proud running around on 1113 at antique equipment shows this summer. I've no doubt that you'll have it finished by then. Then it's on to the next channel adventure rebuilding another old workhorse dozer !??!!! Maybe an old tractor or old Cat excavator.
Foldover locks just asked if you had any Grey Poupon. Florin Tractor has been the perfect partner for the 5J1113 restoration, rebuild, and resurrection.
I think it’s going to be a good one, too! The job seems nearly done. Save for fitting that cab, what’s left? Congrats to you on an epic journey. I sure enjoyed the ring-side seat. I hope you get as much enjoyment out of that tractor as the blood, sweat, and tears that went into it!
Watching you peel the flange off the speedy sleeve was reminiscent of using the key on the bottom of a coffee can or sardine can to open them. Left a wicked sharp edge! But Squatch might have to talk to Senior about this, being such a young pup.
Saw 2 concepts explained today. Nirvana = symmetric alignment of bolts and fold over locks. Serendipity = finding application for failed bumper fabrication.
I agree with your decision to leave the rollers as is, I would have done the same. Great work and I'm ready to see the old girl pulling a turning plow at your next plowday!
Heat and shrink, before you shrink use some press fit lube or similar grease. When you are using any tool to install a component that has been heated or cooled, the install tool needs to be heated/cooled as much or more than the component being installed. This increases the amount of time the the components have a different rate of shrink/stretch. Every point of contact that the component makes with another is adding or taking away heat. Heating or cooling the install tool as well as the component makes a hell of a difference. Also: try to use install tools that have a lower coefficient of thermal transfer for cooled parts (resistant to transfer i.e. stainless steel), or use install tools that have a high coefficient of thermal expansion for parts that need to retain heat (readily transfers heat i.e. copper or aluminum). Just make sure the tool is hotter or colder than what you are installing.
Likely out of a railroad locomotive diesel engine. Most of us here know Squatch once worked as a conductor for BNSF. When I saw the valve, I said, What the? then laughed out loud when is saw the first try bumper.
I've never worked on huge engines but when I saw that stand my instant reaction was "Holly !#@$ that's a giant valve! Nawww can't be?! Can it?" I looked twice then checked the comments and nice to know i haven't lost my mind. Yet.
You are not dumb, you find ways around the problems, sometimes before, some after. Point is you get it done, well. Would like to have your ability on these things.
as a fellow mechanic I think there is only one thing I would have done different, I think I would have installed the roller pedestals first, then put my track guards on, then installed the roller. I think it would have left you a little extra room for getting the guards in place. I mean you got em with some dead blow hammer manipulation but might have just been slightly easier..just an observation 😅 that track looks so much better with the carrier roller, I never have been able to wrap my head around why every crawler Cat built didn’t have carrier rollers. You look at like a Thirty or my Twenty Five, they had them as standard equipment and they are older than the D2, just strange that they went away from that when they knew it helped increase undercarriage life. Probably some marketing scheme to sell more undercarriage parts because they wore out faster 😂😂.
🤔I sometimes wonder who is the bigger caterpillar nerd Squatch 253 or Ironman 3406? Then I remember it was CatDW21 that read all their remarks in the comments section. Cat nerds lol.
I had a similar problem with a sleeve ,had to use a driver like yours . I heated the driver and the sleeve went right on. Maybe that will help in the future . Great video .
Interesting! So part of my questions in the last video were directly answered, and the other was indirectly. I take it that the epoxy was just a rough fill in item smoothed as best is possible before it set up. you are not by any means dumb either. Looking forward to the next episode too!
I now it's to late fore this ide .but I have good luck to freeze the axel and heat the sleeve to do some thing like that .and it's work very good to install the dry cylinder line in block .
Told ya Toby that piece of c-channel would come handy in the future. No shame in using it as a temporary track holder. If there is something I hate is working in very tight spaces where you have hardly room to see or do anything. Or you fight with wire harnesses and other pieces that are in your way.
I so understand the dilemma of the Speedy Sleeve. I paid $72 for one to fit the floating axle hub seal on a 1972 Ford F250. You talk about a snug fit!! It was a nightmare to get it on! You sure can't fit that driver cup over the end of an axle tube! Had the same issue trying to heat it like you did. The tool I had to try to heat with the torch and drive it on started to tear that flange off. Thankfully I got it on without destroying it. I wasn't about to have to spend another $72 and wait several days to get another one so I did what I had to get it on there right. The thing I can't figure is I can remember spending just about $5 for a Speedy Sleeve years ago. What happened with that!?
that D2 got the look of I am a big bad boy ready for anything now lol man that thing came from a being junk to something cool keep it up and thanks for teaching us new things
“Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth” every mechanic has a plan until the speedy sleeve is stuck halfway on! It always seems like the easiest job but never is!
I love the passion you have have for restoring these antique pieces of equipment. How do you decide what hardware (bolts,nuts,etc.) to reuse and what to replace? Do you just run them on a wire wheel then a tap and die?
I don't think that anybody can call you dumb Spuatch some of the solutions you come up with are clever and lnventive and would put a lot of us to shame.
Really enjoy watching your videos all the details you put into all you do you do a great job but I think it’s about time for a new pencil I think you’re got the good

"the illusive tri-fold... rest easy citizen" perfect commentary!!
Once again. Totally amazing. Thank you for your amazing work. Inspirational.
Your fold over lock installation is second to none. Love the old school drop light. The unit is looking sweet. ...

I like that big valve 😃👍👍
I second this. Hey Squatch, what's the story with the comically large valve? Something from back in the locomotive chapter?

Very fortunate to get those rollers, it does make it nicer in appearance. Thanks for the video.
Repair/Restore/ Practical/Functional -- Nice Mix, Enjoying this build. This will be a real example of a working D2 wearing its age WELL.
peak foldover locks there!
The trifold; I almost went blind from it's beauty...
The D2 will look so awesome with the wide tracks! The paint on the carrier rollers matches the rest of the machine.
Hello from Las Vegas

All that's left will be the memories. All that work paid off in a big way. Job well done.
She's coming together nicely. No doubt those carriers will help the longevity. Looking forward to the story!

Nice use of the errant C-channel . It's not the mistakes you make but how you recover from them that counts , so that was a fortuitous recovery .
One wonders if caterpillar has a museum somewhere.... And if they need a curator ;)
Absolutely fabius work that should be mandatory for any student to watch and learn from!
Enjoyed this video very much.
I am looking forward to hearing the stories from the past of your Dad's experiences. It will be EPIC!
Gotta love the "I'm dumb, but at least I'm dumb like a fox". Gave me a good laugh.
Unobtainium install, what a great gift from Floren tractor. Sad they them selves will not go on.

If those sleeves have a lip that peels off like that I’m surprised it doesn’t break off when you put it on and hammer on it thanks for sharing
Watching you peel the flange off the speedy sleeve was reminiscent of using the key on the bottom of a coffee can or sardine can to open them. Left a wicked sharp edge! But Squatch might have to talk to Senior about this, being such a young pup.
I can feel the pain in my finger right now reading those lines. Cod roe cans got me 7 times out of 10.
Don't forget the old spam cans!
Saw 2 concepts explained today.
Nirvana = symmetric alignment of bolts and fold over locks.
Serendipity = finding application for failed bumper fabrication.
Very cool!!!
Phew, our collective eyes ceased twitching for at least a coupla days seeing that neat trifold lock.
Lordy, 1113 is looking good! Especially the wide tracks. Good going Toby!
I agree with your decision to leave the rollers as is, I would have done the same. Great work and I'm ready to see the old girl pulling a turning plow at your next plowday!
I hope you write a book on how to properly restore vintage equipment... I would definitely buy a copy
Looking good!

Looking fantastic, can’t wait to see it in action.
Good to see the non-adjustable jack stand (valve) put to use! I forget what it is from, have to go back and check.
Likely out of a railroad locomotive diesel engine. Most of us here know Squatch once worked as a conductor for BNSF. When I saw the valve, I said, What the? then laughed out loud when is saw the first try bumper.

You can always tell if my plan A fails when you hear me say "Alright, give me a hammer." 😁
Incredible how much tractor work gets done when it’s not snowing and dropping trees every day
It's a good day when one of life's little prior "F"-ups can be put to good use. No longer a bad bumper... reassigned as a custom formed track tool.

@@squatch253 that a fair observation about the smaller tractors - but to add to our confusion on the matter, the smaller 2 tons had carrier rollers… 🤔

Fortune favors the prepared, and few are better prepared than Squatch, so his fair share of breaks is a little higher than most.
Those whom have never made a mistake.. well they have never done anthing worth mentioning.
Not dumb, just extremely clever forward planning.
No one is mentioning the elephant in the room! The 3 foot long engine valve that was holding up track at 13:00! 🤣

WHOOOO FOLD OVER LOCKING WASHER!!!!
“Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the mouth” every mechanic has a plan until the speedy sleeve is stuck halfway on! It always seems like the easiest job but never is!
At 6:58. You sir,are an unreconstructed maniac. And I thought I had a streak of perfectionism. Hah.
Perhaps you could have put your "driver" in the oven also. The sleeve would have retained the temperature longer.
